Chapter 493 Zhang Qiling's Side Story
Chapter 493 Zhang Qiling's Side Story
In the steaming hot spring pool, Shi Ying got up, put on a bathrobe, and walked barefoot out onto the floor.
The bathrobe was loosely tied around her waist, revealing glimpses of her long, shapely, and straight legs, which stirred the imagination as she walked.
Back in her room, she had just sat down when she heard Xiao Qi's voice: "Host, Zhang Qiling is at your door."
While still at the hot spring resort, Shi Ying: ...
"at this time?"
"Yes, host, are you going back?"
Shi Ying thought for a moment, then went invisible and quickly returned home.
Her gaze passed through the gate and landed on the figure standing in front of her house. She smiled and walked over to open the door.
Zhang Qiling was standing at the door with his head down when, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked up at the door.
The door opened, and Shi Ying's appearance came into his view. After seeing her clearly, he immediately lowered his eyes.
Shi Ying's tone was somewhat teasing: "You're already here, and you still don't dare to look at me?"
Zhang Qiling only stared at her face. Although he didn't say anything, his ears inside his hat felt a little hot.
Her arm was pulled by her, and Shi Ying turned around and walked inside: "Come in."
His gaze was drawn to the pale hand on his black sleeve, and she led him in.
His submissive and compliant attitude made Shi Ying feel a little itchy, and she felt a bit like she wanted to ravage him.
Shi Ying pushed the person onto the stool and sat down, then sat down opposite him. The two sat very close, with her legs touching his.
Zhang Qiling felt slightly uncomfortable and wanted to back away, not daring to look down at her bare legs and low neckline.
"Don't move." Shi Ying grabbed him, preventing him from backing away.
Zhang Qiling had no choice but to restrain himself from backing away, feeling the warmth of her fingers as she placed them on his wrist to check his pulse.
After taking her pulse, Shi Ying withdrew her hand and said, "You can't resist me later, so you have to relax your whole body."
These words sounded a bit strange, but Zhang Qiling nodded without thinking too much about it.
“Now, look me in the eyes!” Hearing her words, he instinctively met her gaze.
As Zhang Qiling watched, he suddenly felt sleepy and tried to struggle, but then he heard her gentle voice: "Sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up!"
With Shi Ying's voice, he stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and fell into darkness.
Shi Ying helped him stand up, then picked him up and carried him to a room on the side.
The weight of a man seemed light to her; she casually placed him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.
She sat on the edge of the bed, took his hand, first put a pill into his mouth, and then used her spiritual power to enter his brain.
After a while, Shi Ying withdrew her hand and walked out. Now she just had to wait for someone to wake up.
In his dream, Zhang Qiling felt as if he had returned to his childhood, and all his memories came flooding back, as if he were reliving his life.
From being ostracized in the Zhang family, practicing martial arts, being taken out as a blood bag to bleed, to becoming the head of the Zhang family.
For so many years, he has been going down into tombs while suffering from amnesia, then regaining some memories, and then repeating the cycle of going down into tombs while suffering from amnesia to search for those memories.
Seeing these things didn't cause him any significant emotional fluctuations; his world had always been gloomy.
Until a beam of light suddenly shone in, the world in his eyes seemed to have color.
I recall arriving at the Golmud Sanatorium, in a dimly lit, cold ward filled with the smell of disinfectant.
He lay there for a long time, his mind blank, remembering nothing. The pain in his body became numb, and his eyes became empty.
The feeling of being broken was becoming clearer and clearer, as if I could disappear from the world at any moment.
At that moment, a person appeared out of nowhere in the ward; it should be said that it was a little girl.
Although she was a child, she had a composure beyond her years, standing not far away and calmly watching me.
Zhang Qiling seemed to see a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
It wasn't pity or sympathy, but a hint of helplessness, as if she felt helpless about her own situation.
Before he could think about who this person was, and who seemed to know him, everything went black.
When he regained consciousness, he had already escaped the ward, with only the girl beside him; she was the one who led him out.
Although Zhang Qiling had many questions in his mind, he didn't ask them aloud; he was used to being silent.
The girl didn't talk much, although she always had a smile on her lips.
She often told herself to eat and sleep.
The two got along well for a while without much communication, but she only appeared at night, and each time she seemed to appear out of nowhere.
He went from initial doubt and curiosity to later indifference.
Several years passed, and he lost his memory again, forgetting everything. The emptiness in his heart was even more pronounced than before, and he resumed his life of going down into tombs to search for his memories.
*
As the memory ended, Zhang Qiling opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
After many years, I saw Shi Ying again recently, and now I understand why I felt familiar with her and instinctively trusted her back then.
He stared blankly at his palms, then remembered everything.
Although everything in his memory wasn't so wonderful, he no longer needed to keep searching, and finally felt a sense of reality, like landing in the void.
Shi Ying brought in a bowl of vegetable and shredded chicken porridge: "You're awake? It's been two days. Have something to eat first."
From the moment she entered the room, Zhang Qiling's gaze never left her.
She walked to the bedside and sat down. Seeing that he was still staring at her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you want me to feed you?"
As she spoke, she picked up a spoon to feed him, but Zhang Qiling looked away and silently took the bowl.
Shi Ying watched him from the side until he finished eating before taking the bowl and placing it aside.
"Have you regained your memories? How are you feeling?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling nodded and began staring at her again, while also reaching out to hug her.
Shi Ying didn't push him away, but instead said with a hint of teasing, "As a trade, you belong to me now."
"Mm," Zhang Qiling replied; he didn't want to leave her either.
"Helping you regain your memories was a bit tiring, now I'm going to start charging interest."
When Zhang Qiling heard her say she was tired and wanted someone to lie down, he wondered what kind of interest she wanted.
Before he could figure it out, Shi Ying pushed him away slightly. She lifted her chin, and then her lips were covered by a soft, warm touch.
He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and put his arm around her waist.
After a while, Zhang Qiling felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't ignore some of the sensations. What happened next was entirely based on his instincts.
Their clothes fell to the ground and became entangled together.
……
After Shi Ying got tired, she was taken over by the host, and she could feel Zhang Qiling going from being awkward at the beginning to being very skilled.
Without the aid of spiritual power, her body and the other two were evenly matched in strength, and both could get up again after resting for a while.
……
*
Shi Ying now has a quiet companion in her life; wherever she goes, it's always the two of them.
The two also went to the Bronze Gate together. After resolving the issues inside, Zhang Qiling was relieved of his burden.
He started to have his own hobbies, the first being watching the seasons, and the second being raising chickens.
Despite feeling helpless, Shi Ying still supported his hobby.
They traveled together, stopping and starting, spending many years together.
